Wimberley is blessed with a location on the banks of Cypress Creek and the Blanco River surrounded by the Texas Hill Country. As a result, there are great outdoor activities nearby.

Shopping Wimberley is full of unique shops that offer traditional and not-so-traditional art and wares. Although the primary shopping areas are clustered around the "Square" and "Olde Towne Plaza", there are also shops sprinkled throughout other areas. The first Saturday of each month, March through December, Market Days draws visitors from around the state.

Theatre Many rural towns had outdoor movie theatres years ago. Wimberley still has one. The Corral Theatre features first run movies every Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from Memorial Day through Labor Day. You can even bring your own chair. Call (512) 847-2513 or visit www.corraltheatre.com for shows and times. If your taste runs to live theatre, try the EmilyAnn Theatre or the Wimberley Players for year round theatrical events.

Site-Seeing For those who just like to walk and see the sites, Wimberley is full of beautiful views and rich history. A pause at the bridge over Cypress Creek and -- for the more vigorous -- a hike up the steps to the top of Old Baldy, are ways to appreciate nature and beautiful scenic vistas while in Wimberley.
